The water chemistry will be tested and balanced regularly.

Correct pH is important in hot tub water as it makes the water more comfortable and makes your time in the hot tub a therapeutic experience.

Cleaning the hot tub cover is important to prevent mold growth as that can drip into the water and cause bacteria to grow.
